if you're the white house, it's the exact opposite. you want to be able to prove you can do more than just be investigated. that you are still trying to move forward with an agenda. and also this allows them, frankly, maybe this is a cynical view but a realistic one. people i've talked to around the process have voiced it. having the meeting sitting down together, it's easier to blame the other side when it falls apart. >> this mention, too, you have the investigations congressional democrats are trying to proceed with here. you have the white house resisting a lot of these subpoenas. mick mulvaney today was not in the meeting, but that idea of, hey, congressional democrats, stop those investigations if you want to have cooperation on infrastructure. he was sounding that message. take a listen. >> if i'm suing you on one deal, are you likely to do another deal with me at the same time? probably not. that's just human nature. so you're absolutely right to have an impeachment here on monday and think you're going to talk infrastructure o

hans nichols reporting from the white house this morning. >>> let's discuss this with our reporter from business insider and senior political reporter. how would you explain the mixed messages we're now hearing from the administration? the white house is ainge that plan was floated but then ultimately rejected and now the president said he's still looking at it. why are they at odds here? >> i think that the mixed messages here reflect a lot of the internal strife going on in the white house. president trump has said immigration and border security are his key platforms. we're seeing competing factions in the white house, jockeying to, you know, be the dominant voice on immigration. what happens when you have that is that you have story that come out like with "the washington post" reported, some people in the white house saying no we're not considering it, it's, you know, down right illegal and so on and so forth. then the president, of course, tends to tout what he believes is his unilateral authority on immigration to come out and say yeah we're considering this. again whether or not

this white house because it's typical white house -- a white house move or many white houses for many presidents to walk back things that make them nervous or make them uncomfortable. i don't think the president feels the necessity to do that. you were just commenting on that earlier. the president sees this -- mayor breed of san francisco, mayor wheeler of portland, they should get ready for the busloads of illegal immigrants that they want. i don't understand if they're asking for them why they finding it so offensive that the president is going to send them there. >> well, i'm about to talk to the mayor-elect in chicago. i don't think she is actually complaining about accepting undocumented immigrants. i think she has said that she welcomes them. but it's more the idea of being done against -- as retribution, you know, against a political opponent. that is if in fact what is behind this. >> he didn't say that. >> that's what was discussed on emails. >> we're on pace for a million illegal aliens coming across the southern border, mostly across the open areas not necessarily through

you are seeing the broad effort from the white house to push back against the white house and the president making clear on the lawn that he is ready for this fight to happen. now, another sign that the white house is not putting the russia investigation behind him especially the president even though he has been given advice to do so to essentially declare victory and move on, the former campaign aid who served as a communications adviser to the president in 2016 just left an oval office meeting with the president. now, this is notable because he has not spoken to the president in nearly two years and hasn't been to the white house in nearly two years either. they did not talk, they said despite the advice the president has gotten to let the investigation go, that is not the sense that he got from trump. >> not the sense we get from twitter. >> kaitlan collins, live at the white house. with me in studio to share reporting and insights, mu li--s it a reflex or a strategy? there is a thing called the constitution that gives the congress oversight authority. you can fight. you can argue too m
